Cirdan and his ring

[The Last Ranger]

why did Cirdan the shipright give Gandalf his ring?

[TinuvielChild]

Hold on a sec...*digs out the Sil, which she has conveniently just finished*

Ok. Here you are:

At first that Ring had been entrusted to CÃ*rdan, Lord of the Havens; but he had surrendered it to Mithrandir, for he knew whence he came and whither at last he would return. 'Take now this Ring,' he said; 'for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails. Then I shall await thee.'

Happy?

[Radagast The Brown]

did you read the Sil, TLR? because they said it there... and it was salient.

TC, good work. Why did you quote anyway? you could've just tell him why.
